Inspiration!

Hello one and all!

Yes I have decided to post to my blog, finally!

Alot has happened in the last few months and I took some time out to grieve, heal and move on as they say, I've exhaled and finally I feel inspired enough to start blogging again.

I must say a big thanks to my dearest friend and fellow blogger Miss Ash-Lily. She got me to shake off the cobs webs and get out the house on a school night to the pre-launch of Collection 2000's Diana Vickers range and I'm so glad I went.

Despite my hatred of the underground, I did get on board, found a seat and stood clear of the closing doors up to Bond Street in central London (after jumping more times than I care to mention to get into me ultra skinny jeans and as per usual a pair of sky scrapper heels) . The pre-launch took place Hush Bar and Restaurant just a block up from Claridges. Gosh its been years since I've done anything like this and was feeling very apprehensive, however the Collection 2000 team were on point, venue was nice and intimate lit by candle light, champagne on entry and so much lovely make-up to "ooh" and "aahh" over, the butterflies in my tummy went awol!

There was a bit of everything from the range and I got to try the glam crystals dazzling gel liner, metallic cream eyeshadow and was very impressed with the Sky Scraper Length & Definition Mascara. The brush looks just up my street with a lil comb to separate the lashes. There was also foundations, face powders, lip sticks and glosses, polish and fake lashes but unfortunately the face products didn't go down to my skin tone. They made up for it with some brilliant little smokey eyes palettes which not only give you six great shades to use, there is also a step by step guide on the back, splendid! even with my bits and bobs of experience it is so helpful to have a guide so you know you're doing the right thing and seeing as smokey eyes can often look like black eyes, its good to see some professional advice to avoid you looking like a panda when you were after a sultry look :-$

To top it of I got a goodie bag with actual full size products (not miniature samples) to have a play with which on top of the champagne makes a very good night for me! I'm feeling very SJP aka Carrie from Sex in the City at the mo, sat at me laptop in me dressing gown and glasses typing away. I'm not gonna promise to blog every day, week or at anytime at all, I'll just do it when I'm feeling inspired and right now with all these fantastic goodies to try, I think I'm gonna have a lot to write about ;-)

PS Thanks for tonight Miss P, you're one in a million xxx
